//! Virtual machine management APIs for the AxVisor hypervisor.
//!
//! This module provides APIs for managing virtual machines (VMs) and virtual
//! CPUs (vCPUs), including querying VM/vCPU information and interrupt
//! injection.
//!
//! # Overview
//!
//! The VMM (Virtual Machine Monitor) APIs enable:
//! - Querying the current VM and vCPU context
//! - Getting information about VMs and their vCPUs
//! - Injecting interrupts into virtual CPUs
//! - Timer expiration notifications
//!
//! # Types
//!
//! - [`VMId`] - Virtual machine identifier.
//! - [`VCpuId`] - Virtual CPU identifier.
//! - [`InterruptVector`] - Interrupt vector number.
//!
//! # Helper Functions
//!
//! In addition to the core API trait, this module provides helper functions:
//! - [`current_vm_vcpu_num`] - Get the vCPU count of the current VM.
//! - [`current_vm_active_vcpus`] - Get the active vCPU mask of the current VM.
//!
//! # Implementation
//!
//! To implement these APIs, use the [`api_impl`](crate::api_impl) attribute
//! macro on an impl block:
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! struct VmmIfImpl;
//!
//! #[axvisor_api::api_impl]
//! impl axvisor_api::vmm::VmmIf for VmmIfImpl {
//!     fn current_vm_id() -> VMId {
//!         // Return the current VM's ID
//!     }
//!     // ... implement other functions
//! }
//! ```
